Philippians 3:17 — Philippians 4:20

17 Be ^aimitators together of me, brothers, and observe those who thus walk even as you have us as a ^bpattern.

18 For ¹many walk, of whom I have told you often and now tell you even ^aweeping, that they are the enemies of the ^2bcross of Christ,

19 ¹Whose end is ^adestruction, whose god is their ^bstomach, and whose glory is in their ^cshame, who ^dset their minds on ²earthly things.

20 For our ^1acommonwealth exists in the ^2bheavens, from which also we eagerly ^cawait a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

21 Who will ^1atransfigure the ^2bbody of our humiliation to be ^cconformed to the ³body of His ^dglory, ⁴according to His operation by which He is able even to ^esubject all things to Himself.

CHAPTER 4

1 So then, my brothers, beloved and ^alonged for, my ^1bjoy and ^ccrown, ²in the same way ^dstand firm in the Lord, beloved.

2 I exhort Euodias, and I exhort Syntyche, to ^1athink the same thing in the Lord.

3 Yes, I ask you also, genuine ¹yokefellow, ²assist them, since they ³contended with me in the gospel, as well as with Clement and the rest of my ^afellow workers, whose ^bnames are in the ^4cbook of life.

4 ^1aRejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

5 ¹Let your ²forbearance be known to all men. The Lord is ^3anear.

6 In nothing ¹be ^aanxious, but in everything, by ^2bprayer and petition ³with ^cthanksgiving, let your requests be made known ⁴to God;

7 And the ^1apeace of God, which ^bsurpasses every man’s understanding, will ^2cguard your ³hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers, what things are ¹true, what things are ²dignified, what things are ³righteous, what things are ^4apure, what things are ⁵lovely, what things are ^6bwell spoken of, if there is any ^7cvirtue and if any ⁸praise, ⁹take account of these things.

9 The things which you have also learned and ^1areceived and heard and ²seen in me, ³practice these things; and the ^4bGod of peace will be with you.

10 But I ^arejoiced in the Lord greatly because now at length you have caused your thinking for me to ¹blossom anew; for which matter you had indeed taken thought, but lacked opportunity.

11 Not that I speak according to ^alack, for I have learned, in whatever circumstances I am, to be ^1bcontent.

12 I know also how to be ¹abased, and I know how to ²abound; ³in everything and in all things ⁴I have learned the secret both to be ⁵filled and to ^ahunger, both to ⁶abound and to ^7black.

13 I am able to do all things ¹in Him who ^2aempowers me.

14 Nevertheless you did well to have ^1afellowship with me in my ²affliction.

15 And you yourselves also know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the ^agospel, when I ^bwent out from ^cMacedonia, no church had ¹fellowship with me in the ^2daccount of ³giving and receiving except ⁴you only;

16 For even in ^aThessalonica you sent both once and again to my ^bneed.

17 Not that I seek the ¹gift, but I seek the ^2afruit which increases to your ^3baccount.

18 But I have received in full all things and abound; I have been ¹filled, receiving from ^aEpaphroditus the ²things from you, a ³sweet-smelling savor, an acceptable ^4bsacrifice, well-pleasing to God.

19 And ¹my God will ^2afill ³your every need ⁴according to His riches, ⁵in glory, ⁶in Christ Jesus.

20 Now to ¹our God and Father be the ^2aglory forever and ever. ³Amen.

Philippians 3:1 — Philippians 3:16

1 Finally, my brothers, ^arejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, for me it is not ¹irksome, but for you it is ²safe.

2 ¹Beware of the ^2adogs, beware of the ²evil ^bworkers, beware of the ^2cconcision.

3 For we are the ^1acircumcision, the ones who ²serve by the Spirit of God and ^bboast in Christ Jesus and ³have no confidence in the ^4cflesh,

4 Though I myself have something to be confident of in the ^aflesh as well. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I more:

5 Circumcised the ^1aeighth day; of the ^2brace of Israel, of the ³tribe of Benjamin, a ^4cHebrew born of Hebrews; as to the ^5dlaw, a ^6ePharisee;

6 As to ^1azeal, ^bpersecuting the church; as to the ^crighteousness which is in the law, become ^2dblameless.

7 ¹But what ²things were gains to me, these I have counted as ³loss ⁴on account of Christ.

8 ¹But moreover I ²also count ^aall things to be loss on account of the ³excellency of the ^bknowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, ⁴on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as ⁵refuse that I may ^6cgain Christ

9 And be ¹found in Him, ²not having my own ^arighteousness which is ³out of the law, but that which is through ^4bfaith in Christ, the ^5crighteousness which is out of God and ⁶based on faith,

10 To ^1aknow Him and the ^2bpower of His resurrection and the ^3cfellowship of His sufferings, being ^4dconformed to His death,

11 If perhaps I may ¹attain to the ^2aout-resurrection from the dead.

12 ¹Not that I ²have already ^aobtained or ³am already ^4bperfected, but I ^5cpursue, if even I may ⁶lay hold of ⁷that for which ^dI also have been ⁸laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

13 Brothers, I do ¹not account of myself to have laid hold; but one thing I do: ²Forgetting the things which are ^abehind and ³stretching forward to the things which are before,

14 I ^1apursue toward the ²goal for the ^3bprize to which God in Christ Jesus has ^4ccalled me upward.

15 Let us therefore, as many as are ^1afull-grown, have ^2bthis mind; and if in anything you are ^cotherwise minded, this also God will ^3dreveal to you.

16 ¹Nevertheless ²whereunto we have attained, by the ³same rule let us ^4awalk.

Philippians 2:5 — Philippians 2:30

5 ¹Let ^athis mind be in you, which was also in ²Christ Jesus,

6 Who, ^1aexisting in the ^2bform of God, did ³not consider being ^cequal with God a treasure to be grasped,

7 But ^1aemptied Himself, taking the ²form of a ^bslave, ^3cbecoming in the ⁴likeness of men;

8 And ¹being found in ²fashion as a man, He ³humbled Himself, becoming ^aobedient even unto death, and that the ⁴death of a ^bcross.

9 Therefore also God highly ^1aexalted Him and ²bestowed on Him the ³name which is ^babove every name,

10 That ¹in the name of Jesus ^aevery knee should ²bow, of those who are ³in ^bheaven and ⁴on earth and ⁵under the earth,

11 And every tongue should ¹openly confess that Jesus Christ is ^2aLord ³to the ^bglory of God the Father.

12 ¹So then, my beloved, even as you have always ²obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much rather in my absence, ³work out your own ^4asalvation with ^5bfear and trembling;

13 ¹For it is ²God who ^3aoperates in you both the ⁴willing and the ⁵working for His ^6bgood pleasure.

14 Do all things without ^1amurmurings and ^breasonings

15 That you may be ^ablameless and ¹guileless, ²children of God ^3bwithout blemish in the midst of a ^ccrooked and ⁴perverted generation, among whom you shine as ^5dluminaries in the ⁶world,

16 ¹Holding forth the ^2aword of life, so that I may have a ^3bboast in the ^4cday of Christ that I did not ^drun in vain nor ^elabor in vain.

17 But even if I am being ^apoured out as a ^1bdrink offering upon the ^2csacrifice and ³service of your ⁴faith, I ^5drejoice, and I ⁶rejoice together with you all.

18 And in like manner you also rejoice, and you ¹rejoice together with me.

19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send ^aTimothy to you shortly, that I also may be ¹encouraged by knowing the things concerning you.

20 For I have no one ^1alike-souled who will genuinely care for what concerns you;

21 For all ^aseek their own things, not the things of ¹Christ Jesus.

22 But you know his ¹approvedness, that as a ^achild with a father he has ^2bserved with me unto the ^cgospel.

23 Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me.

24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will ^acome shortly.

25 But I considered it necessary to send to you ^aEpaphroditus, my ¹brother and ^bfellow worker and ^cfellow soldier, and your ^2dapostle and ³minister to my ^eneed,

26 Since he ^alonged after you all and was greatly distressed because you heard that he had become sick;

27 For indeed he had become ^asick, near to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

28 I have sent him therefore the more eagerly, so that when you see him again, you may ^arejoice and I may be less sorrowful.

29 ^aReceive him therefore in the Lord with all ^bjoy, and ^chold such in honor,

30 Because for the work of Christ he drew near unto death, ^1arisking his ²life, that he might ^bfill up your lack of ³service toward me.

Philippians 1:11 — Philippians 2:4

11 Being filled with the ^1afruit of righteousness, which is ^bthrough Jesus Christ, to the ^cglory and praise of God.

12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me have turned out rather to the ¹advancement of the ^agospel,

13 So that my ^abonds have become manifest as being ¹in Christ among the whole ²Praetorian guard and to all the rest.

14 And most of the brothers, being confident in the Lord because of my bonds, are more exceedingly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

15 ¹Some preach Christ even because of ^aenvy and ²strife, and ³some also because of good will,

16 These out of love, knowing that I am set for the ^adefense of the gospel.

17 But the others announce Christ out of ¹selfish ambition, not purely, thinking to raise up ²affliction in my ^abonds.

18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truthfulness, Christ is announced; and in this I ^1arejoice; yes, and I will rejoice;

19 For I know that for me this will turn out to ^1asalvation through ²your ^bpetition and the ³bountiful ^csupply of the ^4dSpirit of Jesus Christ,

20 According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to ^ashame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be ¹magnified ^bin my body, whether through life or through ^cdeath.

21 For to me, to ^1alive is Christ and to die is ²gain.

22 But if I am to live in the flesh, if this to me is ^afruit for my work, then I do not know what I will choose.

23 But I am constrained between the two, having the desire to ^adepart and be ¹with Christ, for this is far better;

24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary for ¹your sake.

25 And being confident of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your ¹progress and ^ajoy of ²the ^bfaith,

26 That your ¹boast may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my coming again to you.

27 Only, conduct yourselves in a manner ^aworthy of the ^bgospel of Christ, that whether coming and seeing you or being absent, I may hear of the things concerning you, that you ^cstand firm in one spirit, with ^1done soul ^2estriving together along with ³the faith of the gospel,

28 And in nothing being frightened by the opposers, which is to them a ^aproof of their ^1bdestruction, but of your ²salvation, and that from God;

29 Because to you it has been graciously granted on behalf of Christ not only to believe ¹into Him but also to ^2asuffer on His behalf,

30 Having the same ^astruggle which you saw in ¹me and now hear to be in me.

CHAPTER 2

1 ¹If there is therefore any encouragement in Christ, if any ^2aconsolation of love, if any ^bfellowship of spirit, if any ^3ctenderheartedness and ^dcompassions,

2 ¹Make my ^2ajoy full, that you ^3bthink the same thing, having the ⁴same love, ^5cjoined in soul, ³thinking ⁶the one thing,

3 ¹Doing nothing by way of ^2aselfish ambition nor by way of ^bvainglory, but in ^3clowliness of ⁴mind considering one another more excellent than yourselves;

4 Not regarding each his own ¹virtues, but each the ¹virtues of others also.
